On 10th September 2026, IFCCI had the privilege of welcoming 140+ senior leaders from BEL Group, one of France's most iconic food multinationals, to Bangalore for a day of learning, dialogue, and inspiration at The Leela Palace. Executives from across the world gathered to hear from the senior leadership of six of India's most innovative companies, covering everything from AI and technology to digital transformation and the future of business.
The delegation had the opportunity to engage with:
- Mandar Ghatnekar, Chief Technology Officer, Biocon
- Vinayak Bhat, Chief Product Officer, Ultraviolette Automotive
- Dr. Kiran Veigas, Vice President & Head of Corporate Marketing, Branding & Communications, Happiest Minds Technologies
- Farooq Adam, Tech Leader, Reliance Retail & Founder, Fynd
- Santwana Pandey, Head of Mobile Banking & Digital Channels, ICICI Bank
- Sumeet Walia, President and Chief Revenue Officer, Tata Communications
Bangalore was no coincidence. Known as India's Silicon Valley and home to one of the world's most dynamic startup ecosystems, the city was the perfect backdrop for conversations about what the future of business looks like and how India is helping shape it.
We at IFCCI are delighted to have been chosen to lead this learning expedition.
